19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called
Babylon, which was a city in Iraq! And you have probably seen this one.
Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know
which nation is second?

It is Iraq!

However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible.
The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia.
The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the
Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq means country with deep roots.
Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country
in the Bible. Here's why!

This is something to think about, since America is typically
represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim
passages... The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible)
Quran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would
awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout
the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair
still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah;
and there was peace. (Note the verse number!)

NOTE!!!!!! Please refer to the Judges post below concerning the accuracy of this last sentence ----(see snopes) . Thank you Your Honor for pointing this out. Chief

I'd rather have the old eagle flying up their asses with an umbrella open---I remember hearing them pray in Israel in 98---their calls to prayers reminded me of calling hogs on the Iowa farm as a boy---I know my comments about the people aren't very gracious, but I worked around them in Morocco in the 50's---hard folks to comphrend, let alone tolerate.
